I’m in Western Maryland.
Himself is a welder/metal fabricator and there’s not much market for steel dog items...:)
[darn it]
I told him to start acting like we live in Nazi Germany or Russia.
He may rightly know why our business is tanking but he shouldn’t keep telling anybody within hearing distance.
The town west of me where the guy was supposedly grabbed is full of “47%ers”.
It’s a fairly poor river town and 80% of the once-thriving businesses have closed down.
All that’s left are the mom & pop hardware stores, grocer and couple fast food places.
Most of the rest are living on some kind of dole.
This all sounds so very familiar.
